"But every man in his own order: Messiah the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. " (1Cor. 15:23).

first fruits: Yeshua rose from the dead at dawn on the Sabbath.   The wave sheaf offering in the temple was on the 16th of Nisan, which was Friday morning that year.  The Temple day reckoned the first fruits day from sunrise on Friday until sunrise on the Sabbath, so the resurrection comes right at the end of the first fruits day.  This is illustrated in this chart: (http://www.torahtimes.org/images/SabbathRessurection01.jpg);
